Question
Solve this soil mech. Quest with explanation
A triaxial test is conducted on a soil sample which was consolidated under a cell pressure
of 550 kN/m² with a back pressure of 250 kN/m². Thereafter drainage was not allowed
and cell pressure was raised to 675 kN/m² with pore water pressure reading of 360
kN/m.². After that the axial load is increased by 455 kN/m², and corresponding pore water
pressure reading is 575 kN/m². The Skempton's parameter A is (Round off to two
decimal places).
